Employment Law — Employer

Work force and employment matters must be carefully addressed from the outset. Are individuals performing services as employees or independent contractors? Are Covenants Not To Compete necessary? Addressing these matters represents a significant step for many startup businesses and while the focus is on operations, attention must be given to having an employee handbook, creating job descriptions, and complying with wage and hour guidelines. These human resource matters become even more significant as the business grows. We are proactive in working with our clients when employment issues arise, and we have considerable experience in working with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Department of Labor (DOL). When complex employment law issues arise, we strive to help our clients resolve these matters at the administrative level. We also have been successful in addressing these matters in the appropriate courts when necessary.

As attorneys and business owners, we understand employment law matters that are not timely and properly addressed are costly, not only in legal fees, but also in the time required by the company's management to address the pending matter and in the impact on employee morale.
